Whenever I'm walking through a store and spot one of those regrettable little "all-in-one" record players (you know, the ones with the built-in CD player, cassette deck, and AM/FM tuner), it makes me sad. That's because I just know whoever buys one of those contraptions will never experience the music on their records the way it was meant to be heard — not even close. I truly hope that someday those fledgling music lovers graduate to a turntable like the Music Hall MMF-7.3, and discover the sheer joy of vinyl played right.

The difference between night and day

Whenever I'm walking through a store and spot one of those regrettable little "all-in-one" record players (you know, the ones with the built-in CD player, cassette deck, and AM/FM tuner), it makes me sad. That's because I just know whoever buys one of those contraptions will never experience the music on their records the way it was meant to be heard — not even close. I truly hope that someday those fledgling music lovers graduate to a turntable like the Music Hall MMF-7.3, and discover the sheer joy of vinyl played right.

With its thoughtful engineering and rock-solid construction, the MMF-7.3 is built to shine a light on all the subtle nuances, emotions, and details contained within an LP's grooves, breathing life into the music in a way that lesser 'tables can simply never match. And that makes me happy.

The MMF-7.3's DC motor is completely isolated and decoupled from the turntable's base to reduce vibration. Push-button electronic control makes changing speeds easy.

Music Hall's performance-focused design

What makes the MMF-7.3 sound so good? For starters, its two-piece, high-gloss black MDF chassis, or plinth, does more than just look beautiful — it also isolates vibrations that can smear sonic detail. The bottom platform is supported by height-adjustable tiptoe feet, while the top platform houses the turntable's critical sound reproducing components — the platter bearing, tonearm, and cartridge. The motor, power switch, speed control, and wiring are completely decoupled from the turntable and isolated on their own separate vibration-damping puck. Music Hall even placed the motor at the front of the 'table diagonally opposite the tonearm bearing, to further reduce any motor-to-cartridge vibration.

Sorbothane® isolation orbs separate the two platforms, virtually eliminating transmitted vibration, for sound that leaps out at you from a dead-silent background. The 'table's non-resonant acrylic platter spins on a precision stainless steel bearing sheathed in a layer of Teflon® for smooth, steady rotation. The supplied screw-on record clamp ensures tight coupling of your records to the platter, and improves playback of warped discs.

Artistry by Ortofon

Finally, Music Hall pre-mounts the highly regarded 2M Bronze phono cartridge by Ortofon, one of the world's most respected cartridge manufacturers. This smooth-tracking moving magnet cartridge features a nude-mounted fine line stylus that reaches deep into the grooves of your albums to pull out fine musical detail that lesser cartridges can miss.

Bottom line — your music will sound deeper, richer, and more dynamic than ever.

Enjoy superb sound, without the hassle

One of the great things about vinyl records is that they force you to slow down and savor the act of listening. But Music Hall's MMF-7.3 won't slow you down much, because of its hassle-free plug-and-play design. Music Hall knows that turntable setup can be a challenge for the novice. That's why this 'table comes out of the box virtually ready to play. Its factory-mounted tonearm and phono cartridge take the guesswork out of getting started, so you can enjoy optimized sound quality with minimal effort. A few minutes to dial in key settings like tracking force and anti-skating are all that's needed to unlock the best sound you've ever heard from your record collection.

Music Hall MMF-7.3 Reviews

Worth the money.

Handsome turntable. Conrad stirred me in the right direction. Really like the Ortofon 2M Bronze cartridge. Hearing things I never noticed on my albums. Very low to no surface noise. Like the fact the stylus can be replaced instead of redoing the whole cartridge as on a moving coil cartridge. For my present set up the Ortofon is a great match. And if you want to upgrade at a later date the tonearm is a good match for a lot of high end MC cartridges. Like the fact the motor is isolated from the plinth. Also, like the fact you can change speeds without changing the belt.

Pros:Handsome turntable. High quality, with a great sounding cartridge.

Not what I was expecting

I am not happy with my purchase of the Music Hall MMF-7-3. I have set up many turtables before but this is a pain. The turntable comes with the tonearm set up except for the counter weight, so this mostly is no problem. How ever it comes with many small parts in bags that just seem to complicate putting everything together. It has three feet on the bottom to help level the turntable as needed, but the disc that they give you to protect your stand from the sharp feet are a joke. I have my turntable mounted on a wall platform, so placing the disc under the feet and trying to power the motor and connect the cables will make you say words you should not say. The feet are very small and cheaply made, not what I want on a turntable at this price point. The motor just sits in a hole in the body on a steel puck, Lining this up is a matter of trail and error, a lot of error. I should have spent more money on a different turntable. It would also help if the Music Hall website had a video to refer to when setting up their turntables. Welcome to the new way of doing things.

Pros:looks good

Cons:could be better made

Music Hall MMF-7.3

Absolutely outstanding. The quality and definition of the sound from my lps is far beyond what my previous turntable could produce and i always thought that it was excellent. It's expensive, but if you really care about the sound from your system this is the way to go.

Features

Turntable: The Music Hall MMF 7.3 is a two speed belt
driven audiophile turntable that delivers superior audio performance. The
construction of the MMF 7.3 has been simplified to focus on the critical music
making components; the main bearing, motor, and arm. It is constructed using
high quality components and comes complete with the cartridge mounted.

Dual Plinth Construction w/ Damping Feet: The Music Hall
MMF 7.3 turntable employs a unique dual plinth construction with three
adjutsable vibration dampening feet. The top platform is medium density fiberboard
(MDF) with a high-gloss black lacquer finish. The two platforms of the plinth are
separated by four Sorbothane hemispheres, which act as a suspension and
isolation system.

Acrylic Platter with Felt Mat: The Music Hall MMF 7.3
turntable features a dynamically balanced acrylic platter and comes with a felt
mat.

Stainless Steel/Teflon Bearing Assembly: The platter and felt mat sit on a high quality, stainless steel ball
bearing sheathed in Teflon providing fluid and noise-free operation. The bearing
assembly comes pre-charged with lubricant. A screw-on record clamp is also
included.

1-Piece Carbon-Fiber Tone-Arm: The Music Hall MMF 7.3
turntable features a one-piece carbon-fiber tone-arm for superb tracking
ability. The effective length of the tonearm is nine and a half inches. This
allows for a very shallow tracking arc on the record thus reducing distortion.

Optional Phono Preamp: If your amplifier does not have a suitable Phono MM
input, a separate
phono pre-amplifier (sold separately) is required to connect the
turntable to your amplifier.

Gold-Plated RCA Outputs: The Music Hall MMF 7.3 turntable is
fitted with high quality gold-plated RCA connectors and comes with a detachable
4' stereo RCA cable.

Dust Cover: The Music Hall MMF 7.3 comes supplied with a
dust cover to prevent dust build-up on the turntable.

Isolated Asynchronous Motor: The asynchronous motor is
isolated from the plinth to reduce vibration transmission.

AC Power Adapter: The turntable operates off of standard
household current using the supplied external AC power adapter.

[ DAVID Nov 24, 2017 ]

AFTER MANY, MANY HOURS OF RESEARCH, I DETERMINED THIS WAS THE MOST BANG FOR THE BUCK FOR ME! THANKS CRUTCHFIELD, BILL NEWMAN
[ WILLIAM T Apr 11, 2017 ]

Yes, the Green light remains lit. It indicates that power is available, and the motor is not running.
[ DAVID Dec 08, 2018 ]

Press the button and hold it down for about 2-3 seconds. The blue light will extinguish, leaving the only a green light. The motor will stop. Enjoy!
[ DAVID Dec 08, 2018 ]

The green light will stay on steady green to show that unit is powered and ready to be used. Nothing to worry about. That is the way it was designed.
[ Michael Dec 07, 2018 ]

Hold the button down for a few seconds to stop the motor. The light will stay on. One quick push changes the speed. I hope that helps.
[ KEVIN Dec 07, 2018 ]

This is normal. As long as it's plugged in it will stay on. It's on standby.
Tom.
[ THOMAS Dec 07, 2018 ]

Hold the button down. The motor will shut.
If you just momentarily press, it will just change speeds
[ R Dec 07, 2018 ]

You have to hold the button down for a couple seconds turn it off.
[ Javan Dec 07, 2018 ]

Yes, green light stays lit- it turns solid blue when it is at selected speed (flashes blue while coming up to speed) A quick push of the button starts the motor then switches speed when running. A long steady push stops the motor.
[ ERIC C Dec 07, 2018 ]

The owner's manual indicates 2-3 years for the belt life. I don't know how they estimate that. I have about 400-500 hours on mine, and it still plays well.
The belts are available through various dealers.
Installation is very easy, just follow the directions in the owner's manual.
Enjoy!
[ DAVID Dec 08, 2018 ]

I don't know about how many hours the belt will last or if it can be purchased. I did not research any of that. But, when I installed the turntable, I did not have any problems installing the belt (or any other aspect of it). Usually, I prefer to have something like that done for me, but it turned out to be no problem at all.
[ Glenn Mar 27, 2017 ]

Stats: I'm not aware of any, but I'm sure it would be quite a long time. The belt can be purchased as a replacement part, and it is very easy to install. A look at the picture gives you an idea of the simplicity.
[ GARY Mar 27, 2017 ]

There's no such thing as "best" without defining the constraints (price, performance, features, etc.). The feature you describe is what defines a semi-automatic turntable. A fully automatic turntable would add to that the feature of initiating playback at the push of a button (with turntable stopped and tonearm on the arm rest, the tonearm would be lifted and moved to the start of the record then lowered placing the stylus in the groove and while this happens the motor brings the platter up to full speed -- note that this could be dangerous to your stylus if the turntable does not have a sensor to detect if there is a record on the platter). A manual turntable does neither of these; you must lift the tonearm at the start and end of the record. The highest performing turntables are generally the manual type to keep them simple. Sorry, I don't have any specific recommendations for semi-automatic turntables as I have not been in the market for one. I can only suggest you do your own research using your favorite search engine to find product information and reviews of semi-automatic turntables.
[ TIMOTHY Nov 20, 2016 ]

You can buy a mini tonearm lift from a third party (search on YouTube) that will automatically lift the tonearm when it reaches the end of play. This will at least alleviate the worry of the stylus continually running in the dead wax at the end of the LP. It's still a manual operation to return the tonearm to its post, but the tonearm lift protects your expensive stylus.
[ Martin Apr 04, 2017 ]

CJ, no it does not. This is a manual turntable, as are most audiophile-quality turntables.
[ GARY Sep 20, 2016 ]

No, it is not a semi-automatic turntable, but fully manual.
[ TIMOTHY Sep 19, 2016 ]

No
[ Ralph Sep 19, 2016 ]

No, it does not. The tonearm is completely manual. The stylus will ride in the locked groove of the record until you intervene. There are several aftermarket tonearm lifting devices available that will fit the mmf-7.3. These devices will raise the tonearm off of the vinyl at the end of the record, but they will not return the tonearm to its rest nor will they turn off the turntable.
